DETAILS OF THE PEDESTRIAN DESIGN BRIDGE: -

The factor of the safety against failure= 2

The deflection of the beam is limited to L/500.

The bridge will be subjected to a 922.3248N kpa live load from traffic
( by the use of AASHTO design standard )

The width of the bridge is 1.2 meters.

Length of the bridge is 3.2 meters long.

By the help of AASHTO design standard to account for the live load due
to traffic is 922.3248N

DETAILS OF THE LIVE LOAD BY USING STANDARD: -

Nominal load = 90 psf

Load factor = 1.75

Given load = 7.565 KPa

Force due to live load = 7.565 beam cross sectional area

= 7.565 0.0381 3.2
= 922.3248 N

TOTAL LOAD ACTING IN ONE SINGLE BEAM: -

live load due to traffic/2 + weight of deck/2 + weight of beam

weight of deck = mass acceleration due to gravity

 = 1.912588 9.81 = 18.7624 N

Live load due to traffic = 922.3248N

Weight of the beam = mass acceleration due to gravity

= 4.500213 9.81 = 44.147N

Total load of 2*4 beam = live load due to traffic/2 + weight of deck/2 +
weight of beam
= (922.3428/2 + 18.7624/2 + 44.147) N = 514.6926
N

Total load of 2*6 beam = live load due to traffic/2 + weight of deck/2 +
weight of the beam
= (922.3428/2 + 69.3724/2 + 44.417) N = 540.2476
N

UDL = (TOTAL LOAD) / 3.2

UDL FOR 2*4 BEAM = 514.6926/3.2 = 160.8414 N

UDL FOR 2*6 BEAM = 540.2476/3.2 = 168.8273 N

MAXIMUM DEFLECTION OF THE BEAM: -

D max = 5 load L3/384 youngs modulus moment of inertia

Given,

E = 13.10 GPa

L = 1.2 m

Find second moment of inertia by using (I) = bd3/ 12

Second moment of inertia for 2 4 beam = (I) = bd3/12

= 0.03810.08893/12
= 0.00000223074 m4
= or 2.2307 10-6 m4

Section modulus for 2 4 beam = I/C = 0.00000223074/ (0.08892)

= 0.00000223074/ 0.04445
 = 0.00005018537 or 50.1854 10-6 m4

Required section modulus for beam = M MAX / ALLOWABLE STRESS

STRESS ALLOWABLE = YIELD STRESS / F.O.S

= 21.029 / 2 = 10.5145 MPa

Required section modulus for beam = 205.344 / 10.5145

= 19.5296 m3

D MAX = 5 load L3/384 youngs modulus moment of inertia

DMAX = 5 160.8414 3.23 / 384 500 0.00000223074

= 61527.2636
= 61.5272 103m

Given,

The deflection of the beam is limited to L/500

dmax = L/500
= 3.2/500
= 0.0064 or 6.4 10-3 m

TO FIND LIMITED LOAD, USING MAXIMUM DEFLECTION

FORMULA :-

Load (w) = 384 E I / 5 L2 500

= 384 500 0.00000223074 / 5 3.22 5
= 0.0016 OR 1.6710-3 N

As we are given different types of beam which are 2 4, 2 6, 2 8,

2 10

By calculating the UDL values, we found that UDL value of 24 beam

is 160.8414 N which is least among other different beams. So, if the
value of UDL of 24 is less and even its cost is high, than the design of
the bridge will not be suitable.
 On comparing of the both rectangular section , we get to know that
southern pine is better than douglas fir lach as it is having less cost
and best quality.
The suitable beam is the beam which is having high UDL value and low
cost in making.

BENDING MOMENT AND SHEAR FORCE GRAPH SHOWN

BELOW:- ( 26 BEAM)
 SUMMARY:-

Southern pine has more knots and different colors ranging from brown
to amber to white in comparison to Douglas fir lach.
Cost is the overriding factor when differentiating between pine and
Douglas fir lach.
Southern pine is easy to install and having less moisture.
 Southern pine is more durable and having sustainability rather than
Douglas fir lach.
As we have selected beam, 2 x 6 beams which is low in cost and good
in quality which is southern pine.
